There’s nothing wrong with being pansexual and there’s nothing wrong with being bisexual, and no matter the similarities or differences that may or may not be between them, both identities are valid and deserve love, respect, and representation.

Edit: please credit me if you respost this to another platform

[id: There are four images.

The first one has a light pink background and says in white text “Pansexuality is not transphobic”.

The second one had a light blue background and says “Bisexuality is not enbyphobic”.

The third one is light purple and says “Neither bisexuality nor pansexuality is superior or inferior to the other”.

The last one has a light yellow background and says “Bi and pan are both valid LGBTQ identities”.]

I saw someone on Twitter saying that they identify as bi because they think that that flag is cooler

Which is a perfectly valid reason

i don’t remember where i originally saw this concept but

necromancers that can raise the dead but doing so has buffs like experiencing a hangover.

so a necromancer raising the dead and dealing with poison from decay or taking on effects of how the person they revived died. I.E. if they died in a fire necromancer coughs up dark smoke from the polluted air and feels the flames burn their skin. if they drowned coughing up water and their temperature plummets.

i really liked the way it was worded and it got me into the use of necromancy in fantasy settings and i’m super frustrated that i can’t find it anywhere.

fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes

got called into the living room because "they're talking about something you'll like on tv" and it was a documentary about arsenic poisoning

feels worth mentioning that my response to this was to yell "POISONS??? :D :D :D" and sprint into the room like a dog that's just been told it's time for a walk

Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!

Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.

Modern writing advice: Yes your protagonist should have flaws but ultimately we should root for them and like them from the beginning :)

Charles Dickens: Here is the worst ugliest rudest meanest nastiest bitch you’ve ever met in your life.

Modern writing advice: Make sure your POV character goes through a significant arc! Make sure they are changed by the narrative! Make sure they learn a lesson!

Narrators of every book of the 19th century: the lesson I learned is these people fucking suck, sayonara you freaks

Modern writing advice: It’s all about the character overcoming obstacles and learning! They learn their lesson so they can fix their mistakes and make good choices in the future! It’s a character arc! It’s called growth! Readers love it!

Everyone from ancient times through the 19th century: would you like to watch a Guy fuck up twenty times in a row

blood being frequently described as having a "coppery smell" in fiction is kind of funny considering that there is a metallic component to blood and it's not copper

in fact if your blood smells or tastes like copper you probably have more urgent things to worry about than it being outside your body. it's probably better that it's not inside you anymore actually.

story where blood is described as smelling or tasting "coppery" and it's actually early foreshadowing that all the characters are suffering from heavy metal poisoning

something that really helped me when I was going through some really low lows, I made a YouTube playlist of all my favorite videos, specifically ones that made me laugh. I honestly can't recommend it enough, rewatching videos that made me laugh was a great reminder that hard times come and go. It's comforting to remember that you've been happy in the past, and that you will feel joy again.

Every time I see companies selling """punk""" jewellery or clothing I become apoplectic with rage. Just saw a £65 padlock necklace advertised to me bitch Fuck you go to your nearest weird little shop that sells everything in the world including fake Rolexes and bongs the size of a toddler. Buy a thing of chain and a padlock. Borrow some bolt cutters someone you know will probably own some and if not get some cheap ones or borrow from a local tool library. Slap em together. Maximum cost £30 and that's MAXIMUM that's assuming you bought over a metre of expensive heavy chain AND bought the bolt cutters. You can do it for under a fiver with a wallet chain and pliers. I still wear a necklace I made when I was 15 out of a wallet chain and pliers and a padlock I got in a set of 3 from poundland. If the issue is dexterity or otherwise disability related then find a friend and swap a favour with them it'll still be cheaper than these scamming poser companies and will help you build community and share resources. Something which is actually punk. Fuckin. Capitalist posers

Important to keep in mind there's a distinction here between 'someone who paints and sells patches in their own small business' (cool, craftsmanship, usually very fairly priced for materials and labour while still affordable for punks who don't have that skillset to buy, honestly not a category far removed from 'if you buy me lunch I can paint your jacket' exchanges) and big companies who charge extortionate prices for something that's supposed to be counterculture, paying staff minimum wage and making huge profits the workers will never see a penny of (cunts)

the most most punk way to make a padlock chain necklace is to cut the chain off a door or gate or piece of equipment that has been locked to the public, especially if it is something the public should have access to, or if it is something that belongs to an entity that is profiting at the cost of the public good, most specifically if that cost is disproportionately paid by disadvantaged segments of said public that are being oppressed

like, a super punk way to source your padlock chain necklace would be to cut it off the back of a Nestle truck, or from the gate blocking a construction road for an oil pipeline, or from a dumpster full of usable food behind some grocery store or something. 

I only explain this so people can understand why buying some fake ass padlock chain necklace from some corporation automatically makes it NOT punk at all, it is literally the opposite of punk, which is a fashion strongly rooted in a social ideology

in an instance where you may have severe metal allergies and still would like to do this, you could use plastic/covered barrier chain. might also help to look for nickel free chain (&padlocks) or try your luck with medical-grade/surgical steel that specifically says that it is hypoallergenic - though there's always risk that it's not.

i know this sort of thing kind of takes the edge out of it but getting sick from metal allergies or having your skin rubbed raw from exposure & risking infection is no joke.

and do not go buying something from a store for $50 just because it says it's hypoallergenic, i can't tell you the amount of times ""hypoallergenic"" jewelry sold by big brands has led to breakouts &/ infection.

you could also put a sealant/clear nail polish or tape over metal bits exposed to skin but you will likely have to re-apply due to wear.
